I had a quadruple bypass 5 years ago and paid for it privately. After I returned home in the bumf that I got it explained that I was entitled to a benefit, well I have paid all my life and thought it was about time I got something back. I sent of my claims form and received £60 pounds a week. The surgeon who had done 2500 bypass operations told me I needed time to recover and signed me of for six weeks and sent a letter to my own Docter to sign me of for a further six weeks. During this time I received a letter from the benefit people telling me I had to go for an accesment, well my benefit was stopped after a month, it seemed that a 20 year old Benefit guy new more about my health than a Harley Street surgeon and a Docter with 40 years experience.
